Using this table lamp is a breeze. First, make sure you have a 60W E26 medium base type A bulb (it's not included, so you'll need to buy one). Simply screw the bulb into the lamp socket. To turn the lamp on or off, use the convenient pull - chain switch. You can place it in your living room, bedroom, or any other place where you need some warm, soft light. When it comes to maintenance, keep it clean by gently dusting it with a soft cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners as they might damage the stained glass or the metal finish. Since it's made of high - quality materials, it should last you a long time if properly cared for. And remember, you can use CFL or LED bulbs with it for energy - efficient lighting. This lamp doesn't need any assembly, so you can start using it right away. It can also be used in commercial settings, so feel free to place it in your office or store.
